baby kidney dilation

So today we went for our 35 week ultrasound found out my fluid is severly low and baby is face down fully engaged but his left kidney is dilated. I'm a f t m and totally freaking out he measures 36 weeks and a little over 6 lbs went to l and d they sent me home but now I'm on twice a week ultra sounds and stress tests and complete bed rest totally losing my mind. We've been through soMuch to get here I'm scared.

My baby girl has multicystic dysplastic kidney. It was seen on my 20 week ultrasound. It sounds scary but as long as one kidney is working that's all we need. I was super scared when we learned the diagnosis but with lots of research and urologist consults for her we are so much more calm. I don't know if you are religious but one thing I know is God is amazing. I mean really I look at it as we have a "back-up" kidney in case one doesn't work. All we need is one!!!! I am here if you need to talk with someone who is going through a similar situation. Just let me know and I will send you my e-mail :-) OH....and also drink lots of water because it helps with the fluid amount.

Thanks my 5 year sister had renal failure so I'm hoping at worse this is it. None f the other ultrasounds showed anything wrong though he has a cystic hygroma on his neck. Hope your little girl is doing well. Thnks for your prayers.

I actually have 2 boys that had enlarged kidneys in utero and afterwards. Even with enlarged kidneys they function normally. They are now 2 and 7. This baby coming is my fifth child...another boy and he has enlarged kidneys. I have a sonogram this friday. I really didn't want another sonogram but they want to follow up before birth. I am 34wks4days atm. I have no doubt all is well and if it's not I'll deal with it if I have to. My babies had normal urinary function at birth and had VCUG to check the function. So hopefully it turns out to be nothing. It is certainly common.Nicole

What made them do a scan at 35 weeks? Was this something they already knew about from the anatomy scan or did they just find it? I really wish my ob-gyn would give me a scan @ 36 wks to check and be sure everything is ok. I fear either baby will be too big or his fluid will drop and I won't know! They say if fluid gets low their activity slows but then they tell you at this point in pregnancy they slow down due to reduced space?! It's confusing! I hope all is well, just keep us posted! Don't worry too much,I know it's hard but atleast they caught it & they're watching you closely!

We were doing a weight and position scan and checking him because he has a cystic hygroma on his neck and try needed to see if it got bigger plus they discovered I have low fluid so weve been doing stress tests and amino checks and in a week they want another ultrasound to check the kidney again. Dr thinks well be delivered early. Thanks for the good wishes.

I went to l&d last week low fetal movement, they did an u/s and when I went to my doctors the next day they said the same thing baby's kidneys are dilated, I'm having a repeat u/s on Thursday to check the baby's kidneys and her growth. I wasn't aware I should e super worried, my doctor didn't make it out to be life threatening, they didn't really say much other than they would take a look next week. Thanks for posting about this. I'm still wondering if I should be worried. Or what the course of action will be if in fact her kidneys are still dilated.
